No, I didn't spend so much time on Section I, I wasted too much time when I was attempting the essay :P

Yes, I know it's a bit complex, but I wasn't actually trying to write a 'complete' story. The story which I actually ended up with was a full page, but had I had a bit longer, the second page would have finished it very differently. There were a number of others who had written 3+ pages, so it's...

I'm going to get myself organised, try to do some light study to keep my brain functional, finish some outstanding projects and generally use the time to do all the stuff I haven't gotten around to doing yet. Note that when I say 'I'm going to', that usually means something closer to 'I might...

Yeah, in English, I have nowhere near enough time, in other subjects, I often have too much time. Particularly sucks at private schools where they don't let you leave early.

Yeah, after reading the first one I went to the library and went through all the others in the course of something like two or three weeks. John Marsden was running some event up this way a few weeks back - I should've gone...

At my school, Std and Adv did the same paper. I had the start of this really, really awesome narrative about a revolutionary fighting against the US government, which was at war with North Korea and had introduced martial law and censorship. I had basically just finished the introduction, where...

Anyone else do really badly in their English exam? I ran out of time, so I ended up with basically no Section III (looking at maybe 2/15), and a very, very, abrupt ending to Section II (perhaps 5-8/15). I think I did OK in Section I though (maybe 10-12/15). Overall I'd be looking at 40%...

Best would be Tomorrow When the War Began. In fact I can't even remember if I actually read that in class, I know at least one of the English classes in year 9 did.

The Government must ratify the treaty through the Governor-General, which makes Australia a party to the treaty under international law, then the Government may introduce legislation through Parliament that makes the treaty have domestic force. The UDHR is not a treaty, and is not legally...

Somewhat excited. I'm all terribly depressed right now seeing how I just bombed English :( I'm just hoping I can get better in Year 12. Also I'm going to actually start regular studying. Hopefully. If I get around to it.

Did Mathematics 2U today. I did pretty well, I think, but I wish I'd read up a bit more on calculus and trigonometric problems - there were a few questions I couldn't answer. No exams till Monday :D Better start studying for 3U...

Yep. All three of the non-accelerants in my MX1 class are doing it.

I think you mean N warnings, not N awards. I got one N warning from Karabar last year, but that was my fault for not actually submitting on time.

Ah, Karabar. Teachers never there when you need them. Lunchtime at 2pm. Fun. (Oh, and some of them don't actually understand the subject.)

Wasn't so much hard as I really, really needed more than 2 hours. Oh, Legal was OK. I just don't like having to write two pages about glass ceilings. Bring on Crime.

Just finished English an hour ago. I failed completely. If I get 40%, that's pretty good. Legal Studies in 40 minutes. I hope I'll kill this one like I did in the half-yearlies.

I'm unsure as yet whether I'll be doing the Independent exam or something different, but I'll look out for this mistake. Also, please don't abuse the English language. Please.

Re: Has anyone? Not myself personally (I'm picking up 4u :D ), but I know a number of people at my school are dropping out of general maths. Not that I'd know why anyone would want to drop out of maths ;)

Weeks 9-10, starting tomorrow with English and Legal, and ending next Wednesday with Physics. Got 3.5 days off school, plus a weekend :D

Re: Does anyone agree that the Preliminary Exams are much more difficult? I really hate it when teachers are too lazy to pick a good exam. Our physics half-yearly was just ripped straight out of a textbook, it was essentially 3hrs of content with 1.5hrs to finish it. (I topped the class easily...
